This is Virginia Woolf learning her first book has been greenlit for publication

>> No.1075697

This is Virginia Woolf wondering if books get "greenlit".

I wish I could put all her pictures together and make a 3D model of her delicious face

Most of her pictures are when she was already old, so it's slightly depressing.

THEN WHO DID BENJAMIN BUTTON?

She was one hell of a lady. I'm gay and she's my ideal waiffu if I were straight

See, that's just the problem she was so insufferably dramatic that I don't too many men would have the patience to deal with her crap.

>> No.1075737

I was going to make a thread asking this, but I guess I'll ask it here. Which Virgina Woolf book would you guys recommend? I haven't read any of her works.

>> No.1075741

Would have been much funnier in a different thread. It would have been like the 6th one today.

Hmm... Orlando I guess, but then its also the only book I've read. (Rather, still reading). To the Lighthouse or whatever it's called is said to be extremely confusing.

Orlando, as I'm reading it now, is deliciously written, flowery an'all.

>> No.1075746

Someone said she was pretty revered on /lit/, dunno if that person was trolling, or if she's some sort of big joke here, so I figured I would ask anyway.

Not very. /lit/ tends to be sexist. Virginia Woolf, personally, one of the best authors of English. She wrote prose like poetry.

>> No.1075760

Well what would you consider her best book?

To the Lighthouse, according to Modern Library's list. But the audiobook I downloaded from piratebay said in the descriptions that s/he liked Orlando more

>> No.1075768

Does anyone know if Virginia spoke/read French, or if it was just the Moncrieff translation of Proust that made her doubt herself as a writer, and feel suicidal?

>> No.1075775

>>1075737

What the fuck is this Orlando shit? Don't listen to these cunts who've only read one book and think they know anything

Read Mrs. Dalloway

What an educated little twat. Does anyone prefer the revised Moncrieff translation over the newest one?

>> No.1075826

Why the fuck is she so sad on her birthday?

Also cameras were like space ships to them back in the day. She should have a look of amazement on her face.
